Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb if you want bright, sessionable fruit,
Mikkeller Raspberry Blush if you want complexity and depth.
Both sit at identical IBUs (10), so bitterness won't separate them—it's all about how each brewery translates their fruit. Cherry Bomb leans crisp and drinkable; Raspberry Blush feels more intentional, almost wine-like. Pick based on mood, not merit.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb
Cherry Bomb hits you immediately—that's the point. The cherry isn't subtle or fermented; it's fresh, almost candy-forward, sitting on a pale malt backbone that doesn't fight back. At 5% ABV, it disappears fast, which is exactly why you'd grab a second one. There's a slight tartness underneath that keeps it from cloying, but this is fruit beer as pure refreshment, not as an experiment.
Mikkeller Raspberry Blush
Raspberry Blush tastes like someone actually thought about layering. The raspberry doesn't scream—it whispers through a slightly fuller body and a touch of grain complexity that the extra 1.5% ABV brings. There's an almost tart, slightly funky undertone that suggests wild yeast influence or extended aging. This one rewards sipping slowly; it changes as it warms.
